1979 Mustang, Modified —
I am the seccond owner of the car, i love the body style and they have so much potential. Overall this car stock isn't very good at all because it is an american muscle car, but mine has all around independ suspension, 17 inch cobra rims, 9 inch rear, 347 stroker with holly 670 street avenger carb, hooker headers, weind intake, hooker exhaust with flomaster 40 series mufflers, with the origional paint and interior.

Pros

1979 Ford Mustang —
I was gonna put a lil work into this car and then sell it. but after looking over the car. for a 79 the car is solid. so im gonna gut this thing out this spring and do a major over haul. gonna rebuild the motor and put in a new tranny. and im updating the interior to a 91 gt with custom guages

Pros

its very fast and it has a lot of miles on it

Cons

its has small steering wheel space to drive

Its A Very Good Car —
This car is WAY better than some stupid newer model mustang it can kick but at the drag race track i put some nos in it and so far iv won every race there
i reccomend getting one if you like racing and going to car shows

Regular Maintenance On 5.0 V8 —
Regular maintenance is a must for all cars, but the previous owner neglected this one. Slowly but surely I've replaced everything except the transmission.I've done all the work myself, & it was easy. Now I just drive it & check fluid levels, & never have to add or fix anything 'till the next service... except gas. To help traction I put on larger rear tires & a thicker sway bar.The car doesn't spin out now,& corners excellent without leaning. Good luck finding one... I've only seen a few left on the road. Plenty at the wrecker though. I never broke down once in 14 yrs. The car never left me stranded... Regular routine maintenance really works.

Pros

FAST and cheap to build

Cons

Hard to find parts for body

1979 Ford Mustang Pace Car —
With the 302 bored .030 over and Boss 302 cam and better flowing heads this thing gets up and really hauls ass. There have been a few things I've had to fix, throw out bearing, rear-end, and now the transmission has givin up the ghost. That's the downside of having a muscle car. If it's fast and reliable it ain't cheap. Other than that it's been a blast to own and I'll probably keep it for a long time.

Pros

it puts you back in the seat

Cons

it will beat you in a race

Should I Turn The Nos On? —
its a 79 mustang with a 429, 650 holley carb, b&m shifter, nos, 10.5 in slicks. we have put a few different motors in it. It is now a Ofrd blue with black racing strips. the whole inside has been gutted out. Over all, the will run in the low 8's on a 1/8 mile track.

Pros

Cons

because of the short 3 year run for the early fox body mustangs it can bee tricky to find body panels for them and they arent feul injected these cars arent for the faint harted

1979 Mustangs —
what i lkike about this car is its ugly and mean looking i built the car 4 years ago when i was 14and it has been a great running car and i have alot of races won with it it has a 302 that board .30 overwith a big cam and headers it also has frame ties and full rear suspension soon its going to have a victor jr. intale and a 410 gear and after that im going to be done for now

Pros

corners and braking and off the line very nice.

Cons

interior sucked.

Not Bad For A Fox Body Mustang —
it had the turbo badges and someone transplanted the 302 into it. Honestly it was hard to get the proper parts for it since it had everything smaller than the v8 cars. when it was all done it was very fast like any other 302 GT.
